Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria

Imaging the Biodistribution of the Positron Emission Tomography Reporter Probe, [18F]FHBG, in Humans.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether [18F]FHBG is suitable for use as an
imaging probe in cancer or rheumatoid arthritis patients enrolled in cell or gene therapy
trials. In this phase 1 study we will assess the safety and biodistribution of [18F]FHBG in
patients.

The success of cell and gene therapy depends on specific targeting of the therapeutic gene
or cell that is administered to the patient. Our goal is to develop an imaging method to
non-invasively monitor the location of the therapeutic gene or cell. Imaging should help in
the design of better protocols and potentially reduce side-effects of cell and gene therapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinical diagnosis of brain tumor or rheumatoid arthritis

Exclusion Criteria:

- Below 18 years of age
